What could Austin Trout do to bounce back from this?

[Santa_]

He could start by fighting more often.

Showtime said he was coming off a 18 month layoff.

[BrometheusBob.]

Fight Julian Williams.

Yep, or Lubin.

[GMAN SUPREME]

Rematch Cotto and snatch the wbo title, then unify, with Charlo vs Hurd winner, win or lose retire afterwards.

lol why would cotto give trout another chance to beat him again?

[SceneBoxer]

If he can make 147 healthy then move down or fight at catchweight 150.

He never takes his loses well. He seems to underperform after each one. He was going great early on and some how faded. Needs to make adjustments when his opponents do

Big Trout fan and he made it close he alaways does (except Lara) but, i dont know if he can really beat any of the other top guys in the division.

Trout could never live up to what I thought possible post Cotto. He won that fight, looked good doing it and seemed to have a lot of size and skill at the weight...and his career just stalled. He looked very good against Canelo but the moment the scores were read out halfway through, his body language changed and he accepted the loss. he didnt hit the gas against Lara either for whatever reason.

Psychologically Trout knew he had ****edu p too many times before and last night gave everything. It was a real brave and world level performance but it came too late. He is too old to capitilise in the division and each of these young guys beat him up.

Hurd didn't adjust, he just outgunned the smaller guy.

[b00g13man]

Trout is done.

When he is tired he needs to know how to clinch. He was boxing beautifully in the first few rounds but all that sticking and moving kind of wore him down.

In addition, it doesn't help the fact that he doesn't have 22 year old legs anymore. He's now 32 years of age. He needs to learn how to stick, move and clinch in order for him to catch a breather every now and then. So he won't tire out so easily and quickly down the stretches of fights.

In so many words he kind of punched himself out.
